Palimpsests

This documentary presents artworks derived from core samples taken from construction sites in Paris, Athens, and Beirut. These cores expose the "unconformities"—moments of temporal rupture and geological change—that define human civilization. The film illustrates how construction and deconstruction are ongoing processes that shape our built environment.

By presenting history as a series of actions rather than mere layers, Palimpsests challenges conventional narratives about the past. It engages with themes related to the Anthropocene, prompting viewers to reconsider how history and civilization are represented. The exploration of these concepts through visual art creates a thought-provoking dialogue about our relationship with the land and our historical legacy.
